INTRODUCTORY NOTE. – The following series of texts were recorded by Mr. George Hunt between the years 1900 and 1903. I made a critical examination of the material in the spring of 1903, during a visit of Mr. Hunt to New York. There are a few minor changes in the spelling of words which it was found necessary to make. There always remains some uncertainty in the spelling of unwritten languages, due to the uncertainty of pronunciation by different individuals. I had no opportunity to revise the texts with another interpreter, as was done with the first series. January, 1904. F. BOAS. I. TRADITIONS OF THE LEGWILDA"X". 1. Ex"Eqā'lagEme" (Most-Beautiful-One).
